Its good to see that NICEIC have stated they will not be running a 3rd party certification scheme and have raised serious concerns over the ones that will be running these ridiculous schemes that allow DIYers to get someone to sign off their work
Was just wondering, what certificates should be issued by a solar company after completion of an installation. E.g. Electrical installation certificate etc.

Hello all.
Having now tried out the new niceic online certification over the past two weeks, I feel as though we are being used as ginnipigs to trial the system as there seems to be a lot of glitches that we are coming across that the helpline don't have answers for. We have spent a...

Sorry if this has already been posted but it makes for very interesting viewing. Big changes ahead perhaps?... or maybe not. I'm very surprised at some of the scheme operator's evidence.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has tried the new NICEIC online certification. I have done a couple of DEI's now and I find it very frustrating and more time consuming. I got the wrong property address on a form and had to issue a complete new certificate also. I don't think I will be using it...
